Women In The Business Arena

‍We have already busted myths this season like https://open.spotify.com/episode/5YtrefLxfKw9CXdQ6OcmBq (Business Success (or Failure) is Connected to Our Worth) and https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5jYXB0aXZhdGUuZm0vd29tZW4taW4tdGhlLWJ1c2luZXNzLWEv/episode/MzQ4MzE4NGMtZjJmYS00Y2I1LThjMGMtYTU1YzZjNGZkYTEx?hl=en&ved=2ahUKEwiHjLvXkpzxAhXoUN8KHeOYA3UQjrkEegQIBhAI&ep=6 (You Should Always be Focused on Business Growth).  If you didn’t get a chance to listen to those episodes, click on the title names that are hyperlinked and it will lead you to that episode.    I am excited to have my friend Laura Shook Guzman back on this episode to discuss the myth that we can compartmentalize our mental health and our business. We believe as business owners and entrepreneurs that we can navigate through anything; we just need to work a little harder. And hey, if our mental health becomes an issue...just deal with it on the side. Laura and I discuss how that is not healthy or helpful.

One of the greatest myths in business is that we should always be running after more money, more clients, more followers, and more validation. We believe that everything we do should be about growth, growth, growth! This myth not only leaves you exhausted, but is actually detrimental to your business growth.   In this episode, I brought on three amazing guests: Cass Ghiorse, Carolyn McCall, and Merrilee McCoy to debunk this myth and discuss how important it is to give yourself permission to breathe. More about our guests: Cass Ghiorse is a body integration teacher, breathwork facilitator and the founder of MIDLINE: a methodology that supports people in understanding and connecting to their core Self in essence and expression.   Carolyn McCall is a non-profit consultant and community program designer. She collaborates with women to gently magnify the value and impact in their programs to create more positive change in the world.  Merrilee McCoy is a creative, learning designer and storytel

In this season, I will be busting business myths. The very first woman who is perfect to help me myth-bust in this season's first episode: Laura Shook Guzman! Together, we break down the myth that “Business Success (or Failure) is Connected to Our Worth.” Even if we don’t consciously say it, or it doesn’t come out in that way, we women may subconsciously believe that our worth is correlated with how well (or unwell) we are doing in our business.   For those who don’t know, Laura Shook Guzman, LMFT, is the CEO/Founder ofhttps://www.consciousambition.com/ ( Conscious Ambition), is a thought leader for entrepreneurial mental health, co-working and self-care. Laura is on a mission, connecting with people all over the world, from entrepreneurs to corporate professionals, sharing a powerful message about the value of founder mental health, collaborative work and embodied living. As an accomplished psychotherapist, trauma specialist, and devoted community leader, Laura brings enormous expertise,

Hey, it's Sonya Stattman, host of Women in the Business Arena! If you caught our last episode, you will have some inkling that we are shifting this podcast. I have had the honor to do all 200 of the previous episodes with my amazing co-host Laura Shook Guzman and she will continue to be a regular guest but this season we’ll be mixing it up with other guests, panels and even a party. Our mission this season is to show you: There is a different way to run your business. One that aligns with your values not the traditional patriarchal values. One that brings ease and doesn't require hustle. One that focuses on ethical marketing and alternative ways to grow your business. And we are going to spend the whole season busting myths. Get ready for our best season yet. And, of course, there are 200 episodes in our old seasons that you can dive into. Thank you for welcoming us into your ears, your hearts and your businesses.

It is no secret that work brings all sorts of stressors with it, especially if you juggle a business with everything else life needs from you.

Laura and I are exploring something near and dear to both of our hearts today: community. We met in a community and have both built many over the years, but what makes a truly excellent, supportive community? How do we balance giving and receiving? And how do we find (or build) the communities that really hold and uplift us? We're talking about all that and more!

How we relate to money is intrinsically tied to how we value ourselves, our work, and our contributions to the world. In this throwback episode, Laura and I examine our relationship with money & redefine "wealth" on our own terms. This is some of the most important work we can do as business owners.

In this throwback episode, we're revisiting an episode about creating & embodying a bigger vision for your business.

Laura & I have had so many incredible conversations on this show over the past four years. As we transition into a new era of business, life and podcasting, we wanted to pause, say thank you to all of our wonderful listeners and remember why we started this show in the first place.  In this episode we’re chatting about how we started this journey and what we’ve learned from creating 193 episodes of Women in the Business Arena. We talk about the importance of having unfiltered conversations, learning to trust our voices & expertise, and what’s coming up next for us in the world of podcasting.

In this episode Laura and I talk through how we can integrate everything 2020 has thrown at us and why that process will help us move into 2021 feeling reinvigorated. We chat about why you don’t necessarily need to feel grateful for everything that’s happened and why it’s so important to slow down over the holidays. We also dive into the role of space for the envisioning process and how you can start to make space to dream up new ideas for next year. I hope you create the time to really rest over the holiday season - you deserve it! <3 Find More Support for Women in Business: > You can find free gifts, opportunities to contribute & more athttps://www.sonyastattmann.com/listen/ ( Women in the Business Arena) http://womeninthebusinessarena.com/ > Love this podcast?

The show officially launches later this week on December 8th, but I wanted you to experience this show before everyone else. :D  Episode 1 of The Feminine Lens™ combines the amazing business conversations you’re used to hearing on Women in the Business Arena with a new format - I’m interviewing three of my lovely clients about what they’ve learned operating their business with a feminine approach.

I'm flying solo today to talk to you about Step 4 for creating a streamlined, successful business: following the proper sequence for growth. I have developed and evolved a business growth sequence over the past twenty years.

Let's dig into Step 3 for building a simple & successful business: focusing on sales over marketing. A lot of people don't know the difference and don't realize that sales is the more important of the two. We will clarify why sales is where you should put your focus, talk about how you can get better at selling, and show you why this approach is so much simpler than doing tons of marketing.

Are you connected with your own voice, or are you suppressing it? I've been exploring this topic with my clients lately, and across the board I'm finding every single woman has had her voice suppressed in some way - first by society, and then by herself. In this episode we're exploring the power of reclaiming your innate voice and how it can dramatically reshape your business, your activism and your life.  Find More Support for Women in Business: > You can find free gifts, opportunities to contribute & more athttps://www.sonyastattmann.com/listen/ ( Women in the Business Arena) http://womeninthebusinessarena.com/ > Love this podcast?
